Western sky at the moment.
Mercury is the most difficult of the five brightest naked-eye planets to see because it's the planet closest to the Sun. Never straying too far from the Sun's vicinity it is only visible near dawn and dusk.

Jupiter and the Moon will be about 4 Degrees apart tonight. Have a look to the East at about 10PM (or West at dawn if an early riser).

I saw lots of Astronomy April fools jokes yesterday, but this one was the clear winner.
